Lyrics The Dead Man's Dream - Procol Harum
As
I
lay
down
dying,
a
floor
for
my
bed
And
a
bundle
of
newspaper
under
my
head
I
dreamed
a
dream,
as
strange
as
could
be
Concerning
myself,
and
somebody
like
me
We
were
in
some
city,
the
stranger
and
me
The
houses
were
open,
and
the
streets
empty
The
windows
were
bare,
and
the
pavements
dirty
I
asked
where
I
was;
my
companion
ignored
me
We
entered
a
graveyard
and
searched
for
a
tombstone
The
graves
were
disturbed,
and
the
coffins
wide
open
And
the
coprses
were
rotten,
yet
each
one
was
living
Their
eyes
were
alive
with
maggots
crawling
I
cried
out
in
fear,
but
my
voice
had
left
me
My
legs
were
deformed,
yet
I
moved
quite
freely
My
head
was
on
fire,
yet
my
hands
were
icy
And
everywhere
light,
yet
darkness
engulfed
me
I
managed
to
scream
and
woke
from
my
slumber
I
thought
of
my
dream
and
lay
there
and
wondered
Where
had
I
been?
What
could
it
mean?
It
was
dark
in
the
deathroom
as
I
slithered
